PIVOTAL APRIL 4TH EPISODE OF "24" TO ENCORE FRIDAY, APRIL 8, AND SUNDAY, APRIL 10, ON FOX

Can't-Miss Episode Reveals Shocking Plot

As the fourth season of FOX's acclaimed drama series 24 intensifies, the most riveting and pivotal episode yet, "Day 4: 10:00 PM-11:00 PM," airs Monday, April 4 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) with special encores Friday, April 8 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Sunday, April 10 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The episode is so gripping that two additional airings have been scheduled to ensure viewers an opportunity to catch this critical and controversial turning point. Leading into the final heart-stopping hours, this episode will leave viewers gasping and is certain to be the most talked-about hour in the show's four thrilling seasons.

After triggering a fatal train crash, kidnapping the Secretary of Defense and setting off a chain-reaction meltdown of the nation's nuclear power plants as well as detonating an EMP bomb, criminal mastermind Habib Marwan's (Arnold Vosloo) worst terrorist threat is yet to come. In last Monday's episode, "Day 4: 9:00 PM-10:00 PM," Marwan diverted the attention of CTU operatives with a hostage exchange of captive CTU super-agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) for witness-protected Behrooz Araz (Jonathan Ahdout). The diversion allowed defector and former Air Force pilot Mitch Anderson (Ned Vaugh) to successfully steal an F-117A Stealth fighter jet.

In "Day 4: 10:00 PM-11:00 PM," the plot takes a terrifying turn as Marwan sets his sights on his most momentous and potentially devastating target � an outcome that agent Bauer might not be able to prevent. Meanwhile, President Keeler (Geoff Pierson) wants to address the nation before the 11 o'clock news.
